So this instantly makes me wonder. How many people actually get an e-mail like this and are stupid enough to go "Oh I have a meeting tomorrow? I best open this file from someone outside the company who somehow knows where I am supposed to be better than I do"

Of course it might hit some people who actually have a meeting the next day, but still begs the question of why you would fall for this. First thing I look at on an e-mail is who it is from. I'm not about to just open a file from a random address.
